A Number OF Persons sunOc ated by
Gas,


Troy, N. Y, January ia singu-
lar and fatal accident occurred in this
city last night. A police officer was
told by a restaurant keeper at No. 1893
River street that he and his fam
lily had been supefied from
the effects, as he presumed, Of fuel
gas, which had entered their apart
ments. The gas company's building
is near by. The gas was shut off and
an examination of the houses in the
neighborhood was made. Ia one
room OF tenement house three per-
sons-William Gil6llau, Ida Bennett
and Caroline Bsnnett-Wers found
dead sitting around the room as il they
had been conversiDg when the gas
overcame them. Their bodies were
taken to an undertaker's room and
the coroner was notified. The other
families in the neighborhtod were
aroused and ordered by the police to
leave their houses. A leak in the
pipes which run through the district
was probably the cause OF the acct
dent, the gas being odorlesa. The names
of the three persons suffocated were
Mrs. Caroline Burnett, 70 years old 1;
her daughter, Mrs. William Gilfillsn,
and Charles Pratt. Twenty other
persons were more or less affected in
the sams locality. The survivors say
they experienced q drowsiness and
sickness at the stomach. The authori-
ties ere investigating the matter and
spscsl meeting of the Common Coun-
Gil has been called TO take necessary
action. The company hiss shut off the
gas from lis main and will not supply
It to customers until IL can make gas
that is not odorless. The b ard Of
Health will also take action. A few
weeks ago, in the came vicinity, sew
eral persons were overcome by gas.

THE PRESIDENT SIGNS IT.
THE INTERSTATE COMMERCE BILL
HAS BECOME A LAW.

The Railways Have Till April 8 to Get
Ready for Government Regulation
Claims That Manning Has Violated the
Law--Dakota's Governor Confirmed
Notes from the Capital.
WASHINGTON CITY, Feb. 7.-President
Cleveland signed the inter state commerce
bill Friday afternoon. The signing of the
bill by the president was in full accord with
the opinion of Attorney General Garland,
rendered to him on last Monday, and it Is
very well understood to bs in accord with
the views of the cabinet.
The attorney general was asked Friday
night to give his views in regard to the bill
and explain wherein it differed from the SEN
ate bill of two years ago, which he opposed
ON the ground that it was unconstitutional
He declined to do SO, saying that he regarded
the opinion he had given to the president on
the subject as strictly confidential. 1t is
learned, however, from trustworthy scources
that the attorney general, as well as the
president, considers the bill which has just
become law free from all the material
features which were Objectionable in the sem
ate bill of two years ago. According to this
information the attorney generals objec-
bIOuS w OHl Dlll was 10 Guo N6ioG pONetS
Of a legislative and judicial character that
were given to the commission. The attorney
general is said to hold that the present bill
does not confer judicial powers OH the COM
mission, but puts them in the courts on the
report from the commission, and that it does
not confer legislative power except in the
fourth section (the long and short haul clausel
and that this is warranted by numberless
precedents in the legislative history of the
government.
As the provisions of the measure, except
those bearing on the commission, take effect
sixty days after the passage, the railroads
will have till April to get ready for regula-
tion by the general government. The COR
poration people who have been here opposing
the bill all say that since it has become a law
they will try to carry out its spirit. They
agree that the commission will be especially
useful in the experimental stages, and with
its help no one complains that there will not
be ample time to put railroad matters i'll
shape. The prohibition of pooling is ex-
pected to make the first break in existing
railroad arrangements. These will nomi-
nally go to pieces, though the railroad men
claim there will continue to be associations"
which will not be contrary to law.

WORK IN CONGRESS.
The Railway Attorney Bill and the In
dian Appropriation Bill Passed.

The Railway Attorney Bill and the In-
dian Appropriation Bill Passed.
=WAsHINGToN CITY, Feb AFTER a long
and rather acrimonious debate, the senate
Friday amended Beck's railway attorney
bill with Hoar's proposition to prohibit
members of congress from acting as attor-
neys against the government in any case, or
to act as attorneys for any subsidized rail
way company when legislation, in which
said railway is interested, Is pending in con-
gress Later this was substituted for Beck's
bill, and, much to Beck'5 disgust, passed,
though he voted for it in the hope, as he said,
that the house would put it in such a shape
as would suit him. The vote on adoption
was: Yeas, SO; nays, II. The nay vote was:
Call, Cameron, Farwell, Gray, Hampton,
Mcmillan, Malone, Mitchell OF Oregon,
Payne Pugh, Ransom, Sawyer, STANFORD,
Teller
The senate Saturday passed house bill au-
thorizing the construction of a high wagon
and foot passenger bridge over the MiSsiss-
ippi river between East Dubuque, Ills, and
Du buque, Iowa. Sixty-six pension bills were
also passed among them house bill granting
$50 month to the widow of Brig. Gen.
Thomas F. Meagher The senate then passed
the Indian appropriation bill and agreed to
the conference report on the bill for public
building at Chattanooga, Tenn.
The senate then at 3:O5 p. m. adjourned.
In the house Saturday the senate bill re-
funding direct taxes was laid before the
house, but on motion of Heard of Missouri,
1t was referred to the committee on judici-
ary. Seven messages from the president
vetoing bills granting pensions to Cuthbert

THE FLOODED DISTRICTS.
The Ohio River Over Fify-Six Feet
Cincinnati-The Cumberland.

The Ohio River Over Fify-Six Feet at
Cincinnati-The Cumberland.
CINCINNATI, Feb. THE river at 10
o'clock Saturday morning had reached the
stage of fifty feet one inch, which was a rise
in the past nine hours Of five inches. The
diminution in the rate of the rise is encour-
aging, especially as there is yet no rain
But with a cloudy sky and the thermometer
above - there is still ground for apprehen-
sion. The rise, as it is now, causes serious
inconvenience to the railroads and to river
transportation, besides interfering with many
manufactures on the river front. Every
additional foot Of increase magnifes the loss
at a much higher rate. Until rain fall
comes, however, the condition will remain
hopeful.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Feb. THE Cumber-
land river is rising slowly, with Al $40 feet
on the gauge. The low places in the city are
being troubled with back-wat and many
families are preparing to move out A SER.
Gus overflow is not at this time expected.
Lumbermen along the river have taken nee
essary precautions against loss of property.
All streams tributary to the Upper Cumber-
land are out of their banks The river will
reach its highest point by Monday, and will
probably not exceed forty-four feet on the
guage.

train was ablaze. Those present were pow
erless to stop the fire, and the heat became so
intense that they were obliged to relinquish
their efforts to save the suffering, and were
compelled to retreat to q place Of safety for
themselves and become unwilling and horror
stricken witnesses Of the holocaust. In ad-
dition to this, and to add to the terrors OF
the passengers, the weather was intensely
cold and the heroic rescuers were hindered
thereby in their work. No water could be
obtained to check and extinguish the flames
The ice was several inches thick ON the river,
and there were no appliances at hand tc
raise it
An occupant OF the Boston sleeper whose
name could not be ascertained passed through
here Saturday afternoon. He said that every
berth was occupied. He was awakened by
the jolting Of the car which presently went
over the abutment, and turning over III its
descent struck the ice on its roof, which was
crushed in. The narrator, who occupied a
lower birth, extricated himself with diff
Guilty, and at once set to work to relieve a
Boston gentleman who occupied an upper
berth. He worked with energy but was
driven away by the flames and
became an involuntary witnes to the death
Of his companion who was burned before his
eyes. he saw quite number OF persons res
cued with severe burns. But few bodies had
been taken out when he left. At that time
it was impossible to ascertain the number Of
victims. He expressed the belief that not
more than thirty were killed.
Ira Chase, of Bristol, who went to the
wreck on the special from White
River Junction says that the Bos-
ton sleeper Pilgrim and the Spring
field sleeper St Albans turned bottom
up in the fall. Twenty-six persons, as far as
known, were taken out alive Two Of these,
understood to be Mr.. Wesson of Springfield,
and E BreckleDanks, died soon after MIR.
Chase makes the total number of pass engers
in the wrecked cars about eighty, and the
number of dead between fifty and sixty. In
most cases death probably resulted from
burning than from drowning. Several were
penned into the wreck who might have been
rescued.b but for the flames.

MANNING'S METHOD.
Claims That He Has Violated the Law in

Claims That He Has Violated the Law in
the Issue of United States Notes.
WASHINGTON CITY, Feb. 7-Secretary
Manning's letter, presented to the house last
Wednesday, in reply to the Wilkins resoIu.
tion calling for information as to whether
small United States notes had been replaced
with those Of larger denominations, was re-
ceived with ill-grace by number of repre-
sentatives who are regarded as ''silver men,
or as leaning toward soft-money policy
Some of them, after subjecting the docu.
ment to a careful scrutiny, declare that,
aside from notably disreSpectfut tone, the
paper shows clearly that Secretary Manning
has violated the law regarding the issue of
United States notes, and has also, it is al
legged. failed to make purchases of silver bull
ion every month to the full amount required
by the Bland act Several consultations OF
an informal character have been hell by
these members, and it is learned that some
of the most ultra silver men have more than
hinted at their intention to formulate
charges of impeachment against the secre.
tary of the treasury. Up to the present
time, however, it appears that there has been
no conc erted action looking to the adoption

Strike in New Jersey.
NEW YORK, Feb. 7.-President Seelye, of
Amherst college, presided at dinner of some
sixty alumni at Delmonico's Thursday night.
Mr.. Beecher, who was present said, among
other things:
1t is curse Of European governments that
they insist upon taking care Of the people.
The people can take care of themselves. This
abomination, the knights of Labor, is the
result of this Internal idea of paternity Of
government Because a few men in New
Jersey think their employers have wronged
them, all this nation Is called upon to suffer
on the order Of the paternal government of
the Knights Of Labor. This is from want of
intelligence. God knows l am a friend Of
the workingmen. l am workingman. /
came from working stock. Ny grandfather
ami his father were blacksmiths and my
mothers people worked in leather. The
working people are being taken care Of by
the knights Of Labor instead Of taking care
of themselves, and people all over the land
are being punished and business is stagnated
because of it, just because few men in Jer-
sey have done wrong. The destruction of
the DOOR is their Ignorance.
